Hi
I'm Marlene Polster and I and a cousin Tami Stein are working on rereading the
cemetery. I do a lot of work on the St. John Families so I hope I can help you. You might
also want to contact Dr. Joan Huebschmam 602 Sawyer Tr. #105, Madison WI She can help
with the Foertsch Family.
We Will be at St. John's on Wens day and Thursday to work on the cemetery, if I can
be of any other help.
I'm not sure why they have a Polster name next to to Ann Spaeth.
I have a copy of the church records that have been microfilm. However not all the
records were microfilm and most of the film is in German The church sec. can help you with
copies of the church records and possibly get a copy that is in English.
I found no church record for the Greiner. They must not been from St. John's

Hi,
I am trying to help a person with her Foerster line. I did visit Rockport yesterday, the
gal who takes care of the birth/death records was not ther, so I was not allowed to check
what I needed, the gal who works in the geaealogy dept at the library was also gone. The
librarian who was there was helpful but told us she didn't know anything about the gen
room. I did get a few things, but need more. Below is what I need:
Anna Foerster--1859-1886-- father was James Forester and mother was Anna M. (don't
know last nams)
She had a son, Charles Henry Greiner in 1882. On his marriage to Anna Zimmerman in 1909,
he gave his father as Charles. Charles was raised by his uncle and aunt-- John and Minnie
Foertsch Foerster. Anna (Charles's mother) remarried a G. Spath/Spayd/Spaeth. Can
anyone help me with these lines? Anna and her parents are buried in St. John's
Lutheran Church in Huff Twp. I didn't have much time to check the cem book, but did
find Anna-- her family was listed as Polster. How do they get Polster from Foerster? Also,
are there records that listed the children of James and Anna, and tells who they married
and when? I cannot find where Charles was born, he died in Eville. Any help on these lines
will be much appreciated.

Hello,
I have a Homer W. Brown and Caroline Brown who had 3 children around 1860
and they appear in the 1860 with these 3 children: Edward T., James and
Nelly. In 1870 only the 3 children appear in the census with an Oliver
something and I've searched for Homer and Caroline and they aren't anywhere
to be found. Does anyone have any suggestions as to anyplace that i can look?
